As a citizen of Federal Way I feel that Linda Pratt’s letter and concerns about the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) are well formed.
The transportation budget in Olympia that failed to pass in “double overtime” failed for good reasons. Did you want to help Oregon pay for the CRC, the mis-designed Columbia River Crossing?
On Saturday, Aug. 3, 130 volunteers of all ages came together to invest in two local elementary schools.
It starts with the heading on the front page of The Mirror (which is clearly anti-mayor): “Roegner: Mayor refuses to challenge council.” Oh really? Just how did he “refuse?” What should he challenge them about? Should he make up something just for the sake of it?
Here’s the information the public needs to know about the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) before spending their hard-earned tax dollars. This is a basic business plan — nothing more than any investor would ask before funding a startup business.

When I moved to Federal Way about 13 years ago, I was much impressed as to how well they take care of their roads and sidewalks — unlike Seattle, Tacoma and some of the surrounding communities that only repair their chuckholes after they lose a couple of cars in them.
We are pygmy goat breeders from Oregon. We travel to a lot of NPGA (National Pygmy Goat Association) shows in Washington and have for many years now. Federal Way residents Kelly and Ava Anissipour are part of our goat family, and so we enjoy Ava’s determination of her wants.
There are 3 candidates for the Federal Way School Board Position 4, and for Federal Way City Council Positions 2 and 6. I agree with The Mirror’s endorsements for two of the three positions up for election.
